PAUL SUNDAY, AUGUST 10,1879. THE exports of grain from Russia have perceptibly decreased of late, owing to the prospect of a short orop this year. It is al ready evident in the wheat growing district of the Ottoman empire that not enough will be raised for home consumption, and accordingly exportation will be suspended for a time, at least. THE London Truth occasionally hits the nail squarely on the head. In recent com ment upon Mr. Taimago, the mountebank pulpiteer of Brooklyn tabernacle, it speaks of him as being "a sort of Yankee Ghadband who has got a little into sooiotj." The sen tence expresses Mr. Talmage's character with epigrammatic accuracy. SPOTTED TAIL has "officially" promulgated the intentii of himself and his tribeor at teat their desireto devote their attention to agricultural pursuits in the future. As it is a happy circumstance that "official utter ances" in this country always are unanswer able, we presume that Uncle Sam, who is rich enough, will give all the savages a farm. THE conduct of the negroes of Memphis in refusing to leave the city for the camps in the hope of receiving free rations from the government or the people of the North is reprehensible in the highest degree. The only result will be the furnishing of fuel for the fever fire. The obstreperous fellows de serve and will receive but little sympathy and far less assistance. THE people of Tennessee, by popular vote, have rejected the proposition to com promise the debt of the State at fifty cents on the dollar. There is no doubt but both those who opposed the repudiation of any part of the debt and those who favored the repudiation of all of thedebtvoted against the proposition, and as a consequence the result can give no idea of the real sentiments of the people. IT is a humiliating confession for the auditor of the State of Kentucky to make that the State is practically bankrupt. The failure of the several counties to send in amounts due the State is assigned as the reason for the present stringency, bnt it seems to ns that the laws must bewonderful ly lax to permit of such a state of affairs. Theoounty officers evidently need a poking lip with a very sharp stick. A SQOXAXJST in Russia has put himself to a good use. He was in prison for conspiring against the peace of the nation, and he thereupon proceeded to make a bonfire of himself by taking a seat over a petroleum lamp. The result was his complete ioinera tion, and be is now an angel robed in white. We applaud bis heroism thus making a martyr of himself. The more of such mar tyrs Russia has the better. THE apostacy of a Jesnit priest in Chicago to Protestantism has caused altogether too much commotion. He had a right to forsake the mother church if he chose, and he will have aright to go back again if he shall so elect. Many before him have done as he has done, and many others have for saken Protestantism to join the church of Rome, and little has been said about it. It seems to us that the ass made over this reverend gentleman is hardly commensurate with his importance. It is a tempest in a teapot. MURDER WORSHIP. There is a great deal of maudlin senti mentality in this country relative to persons guilty of the most heinous crimes that seems to pervade all classes of society. The worse the criminal is the greater interest he in spires in the minds of these super-senti mental people, and the worst of the case is that those affected seem to be mostly ladies in respectable positions in society. In stances are numerous. While the two des picable murderers, Sherry and Connolly, were under sentence of death at Chicago, they were in daily receipt of visits from many leading ladies of thecity, who showered fruits, flowers and cigars upon them without atint and in such manner as to lead the felons to believe that they were heroes and had committed a meritorious act. When it is taken into consideration that these criminals had attempted a nameless out rage upon a young girl and then bru tally murdered her uncle because he interfered to prevent it, this prurient inter est becomes inexplicable. Another example is furnished in the case of Ohastine Cox, the negro murderer of Mrs. Hull at New York, Who holds a perpetual levee and is lionized by hundreds of women, the wives and daughters of reputable men. The idea of women making a hero of a fellow guilty of so heinous a crime makes one shudder. But perhaps the most extraordinary example of murder worship is afforded by the Smith Bennett case at Jersey City. The facts in the ease are yet fresh in the public mind. A police officer was brutally murderedohop ped to pieces in his bedby his wife and her paramour, so that he might not interfere With their illicit love. The orime was of unheard of atrooity, and sent a thrill of horror all over the country. The twain were tried and convicted on sufficient evidence. They took an appeal, how ever, but not having the money necessary to pay the court costs the appeal was de nied. The operatic artist, Miss Emma Ab- yMk&lu>m,^c^ ^Ih&uJim bott, interested herself in their behalf and succeeded in raising enough money to se cure the appeal. For this she has received the most fulsome praise. She called upon her prottges in prison the other day, andCanadian the New York papers inform us that the meeting with Mrs. Smith was most affect ing. The pair fell into each other's arms and wept copiously, the tears of the presum edly pure and talented prima donna ming ling with those of the condemned adulteress and murderer. Miss Abbott con doled with Mrs. Smith and spoke words of comfort and encouragement, and finally left the prison weeping most conspicuously. It is alleged by some uncharitable persons that in getting up this scene Miss Abbott had an eye to businessused a novel device for eeping her name before the public in an ticipation of the ooming opera season. Whether this may be so or not we care little. It may have been commendable in her to procure the money necessary to give those wretched peo ple another chance for their lives, but it was indelicate, unladylike and unworthy of a pure woman to so conspicuously endeavor to create public sympathy in behalf of a pair of depraved and wholly irreclaimablevillains as these, and so her act will be regarded by all respectable people. Is it any wonder that murders are of such frequentoccurrence when we see how the per petrators are lionized? When presumably respectable women voluntarily became the intimates of known murderers and adulter ers is it any wonder that the standard ol morality is being constantly lowered? Vi cious men and vicious women very readily come to crave the attentions from those above them in the scale of life, and in order to win it connive at and perpetrate deeds of blood The more fiend ish the crime the more certain are they of adulation, and this they fully understand. We submit that such a mania has gone too far, and that it is time it was checked. A woman who so far degrades herself as to be come an associate of criminals, ought to be ostracised from all decent society, for it is only a question of time and opportunity when she herself will become criminal. It is a morbid state of existence, a thoroughly reprehensible and criminal practice that should be stopped. MORALITY JiV THE PULPIT. Giving no offense in anything, that the minis try be not blamed:By pureness, by knowledge, by long-suffering, by kindness, by the Holy, Ghost, by lovo unfeigned, by the word of trntb by the power of God, by the armor of right eousness on the right hand and on the left. II CORINTHIANS, vi: 3-7. These are, according to the apostle, the qualifications of ministers of the gospel, for they who teach godliness should themselves be godly. It is to be regretted, however, that in these latter days so httle heed is paid to these commandsthat preachers of religion have so little genuine love for God or for mankind- so little appreciation of the great principles taught by the founder of Christian ity, and often so little regard for common morality. The leoent scandal connected with the mysterious disappearance of a prom inent Boston divine, and the still more disgraceful revelations made in the trial of the divorce case of the most prominent Congregational preacher in England, have revived the recollection of many similar cases that have come to light in the past, and done a great deal towards creating distrust in the minds of the people as to the sincer ity of their pastors, and doubts as to the capacity of religion to make men purer and better. It is perfectly natural for people to doubt the truth and 'efficacy of a doctrine when its chief exponents so frequently vio late the proprieties of life that are inculcat ed by those theories. We acknowledge the faofc that ministers are but human and liable to err, yet if, as they tell ns, the religion of Christ tends to righteousness, makes of, men saints, purifies the character and exalts the mind, and they possess it in any su.'h degree as they profess,' these frequent departures from the paths nf rectitude are utterly inde fensible, and clarity for the offenders is wholly out of place. There is much complaint from the pulpit about the apathy of the people onthesubject of religion. But can the clergy reasonably expect any other condition in view of the manner in which they con duct themselves? We are far from asserting that immorality is the rule in that direction, for we are glad to say that a vast majority of those who fill our pulpits are Gad fearing, conscientious and upright. But they have one failing that we fear does not redound to their credit. When one of their number is detected in immoral conduct, they at once become his apologists and defenders. They plead the weakness of human nature ex tenuation of his offense, and often go fur ther in refusing to credit the most convinc ing evidence against him, and even admitting the truth of the accusations, they visit the severest condemnation upon those instru mental infringing about an exposure. This is radically wrong, and injuriously affects the reputation of the entire profession, for it creates the impression that such offenses are more common in the 'cloth than they really are, and that there is a fellow feeling among the brethren. It should be the first aim of the pmpit to purify itself. Sympathy for criminals who profess exceptional virtue is thrown away, for it is undeserved. When a minister falls, he falls very low, and is without apology. When he disgraces himself, he disgraces the whole church and oasts a slur upon religion/ and therefore his offense is doubly heinous. There is much need of greater piety in the pulpit. The mass of the people are influenced more by example than precept. A man may be ever so eloquent in expounding the beauties of a godly life and the nobility of righteousness, bnt if his life is not consistent with his teachings, the latter will be of no avail. It will be as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. It is not inappropriate to apply the taunting remark of his persecutors to him on the cross to the clergy of to day "Physician, heal thyself." If they will make their own lives pure, will condemn vice wherever they find itamong their fel low clergymen and among the rich and high born of their congregations, as well as among the poor and naturally depraved, they will do much to advance the cause of religion, much to remove the constant ly growing impression that religion is but a sham, powerless to effect the reformation of mankind, much to induoe others to seek to attain a holy life, much for publio morality. Then all can believe in the sincerity of their professions, but until such a result is accomplished skeptics will con tinue to doubt, and sincere Christians will turn away from the spectacle with sorrow and sickness of heart. .j BI811NOUI*HED VISITORS. "it Canadian Officials on an Inspecting Tonr Through the British Possessions. J* esterday the following distinguished government officials registered at the Metropolitan: Hon. D. A. McDonald, lieutenant gov ernor of Ontario, and son, George McDon ald. Hon. S. G. Wood, treasurer of the province of Ontario. Hon. M. Morrison, chief justice of On tario. J. W. Langmiur, inspector of pensions. Lieut. Col. Gilmore, clerk of the Assembly of Ontario. J. G. Wood, Dr. Thinbom. Dr. Herrimon, A. McNab. D. D. Hay, J. O. McLean. The party came in on the St. Paul, Min neapol & Manitoba train from Winnipeg. Accommodations were*secured in advance at the Metropolitan', and thereto the party re paired, and freshened themselves up after their journey. During the afternoon. GovernorMcDonald received a visit from Mayor Dawson, Hon. James W. Taylor, United States Consul at Winnipeg, and many other notable citizens. In the course of the afternoon the GLOBE put itself in communication with the distin guished party, and learned from Lieutenant Governor McDonald as follows The party left Toronto on the 17th ultimo, to visit Manitoba. The object of the visit combining business with pleasure. Lately considerable territory has been added to the province of Ontario on the west and northwest, and the first object pf the visit was to inspect the new country and ascertain its resources, agricultural and min eral. The route taken was to Thunder Bayjs, and at this point the jour ney was continued over the Canadian Pacific railway for eighty miles, thonce by other means of transportation to Winnipeg. Gov. McDonald says much of the new territorial addition to Ontario is sterile, bnt may prove productive in preoious mineral yield. It is reported that in blasting for the road bed of the Canadian Pacific that rich sur face indicatKBsof silver have been discov ered, interposed the GLOBE. I heard nothing of this, though I did hear that further east and nearer the lake (Superior) rioh deposits had been discovered. In fact, I believe the country will eventually be found to be rich in all mineral deposits." Speaking of the agricultural resources and appearances of the country through which he had passed, Lieut. Gov. McDonald ex pressed himself enthusiastically. He said the wheat yield Montana would be im mense"the wheat there looks better and the yield will be greater than in Minne sota However, from all he could observe, Min nesota has no cause to complain, but much to rejoice over. All along the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba road harvesting was going on, and the wheat promised a great yield. The lieutenant governor expresses him self as best pleased with the coun rty abort Ramey Lake. Both on the Canadian and American side, he says the sun shines on no better country anywhere." The Red River Valley also comes in for a share of the Governor's expressed enthu siasm. In fact, his whole trip has been highly satisfactory, and one from which he and his party have derived much pleasure. During yesterday the city of St. Paul and Minneapolis as well were inspected. All are cordial ai*d enthusiastic their expressions of admiration at the signs of prosperity evinced on all sides. The Governor and retinue left for Chi cago, last night at 8 o'clock, where they will pass one day, and then continue then* jour ney to Toronto. "THE BEST CARS." The Elegant Equipment Which the St. Paul & Sioux City Road is Providing. A GLOBE reporter encountered Mr. John F. Lincoln, superintendent of the St. Paul & Sioux City railroad, yesterday, and true to his instincts shot off the usual question at him"What do you know?" "I know we've just received some of the best cars ever brought into Minnesota," was the reply. It required very little inducement to get the GLOBE ta accompany Mr. Lincoln to in spect "The best cars." On the way to the cars, it may be just as well to relate the history connected with their coming, and then a description can follow: During the last six months the St. Paul & Sioux City road have been making up their through Pacific trains to Omaha at this place. Yesterday two new coaches and four baggage and mail cars were received, which complete two first class trains in all the servicable appointments and con veniences that the most fas tidious tourist can possibly desire. From this day henceforth, three sleepers, the St. Paul, Sioux City and Minneapolis, are at the service of the public. Besides these, coaches of the latest pattern, guarded with all the improvements for safety, and rendered attractive by the handsomest work manship, will form apart of the daily trains in and out. All these cars are new within the six months, and some have the very beauty of exquisite newness upon them. The cars on the outside are composed wholly of panel work, with ornamental moldings. The painting is subdued ma roon, and with gilt edges and letters, makes a strikingly attractive appearance. The interior approaches the artistic in beauty. The woodwork consists of birds eye maple, relieved by ash mouldings, and everwhere is rich in graceful carv ings. The upholstery is of green and maroon plush, while the cur tains commingle these colors in a pleasing neatness. Three chandeliers are pendant from the ceiling of each car, with central reservoir. For ease and safety in travel, the cars and coaches are provided with elliptical springs and the air-brake. The sum of excellence is told when Bailey & Smith, of Dayton, O., are an nounced as the manufacturers of the new cars, etc. Next Monday, at 3:30 o'clock, the first train of new cars starts westward. It is safe to declare that the train will be the most complete and finest which ever came into the State. The above is worthy of mention because indicative of the management which has control of the road bed, train movements and practical operation of this Minnesota rail road. In this connection, as not amiss, and to the oredit of this part of the managemeet of the company, it can be said that the St. Paul & Sioux City road has never, yes never, killed its man. For the matter of that, the road or tram service has been so skillfully managed that during the many years the road has been operated, not a single serious accident has happened. Added to this care, additional precaution for the safety and comfort of patrons has been provided for in the air-brakes attached to the new cars and their superb ventilation. On the whole it will be as pleasant, as here tofore absolutely safe, to travel on the St. Paul & Sioux City road. Pinafore In Fair Week. When the Mastodons closed here it was thought that Manager William Foote was clearly entitled to the honors as having given the most successful entertainments ever offered this publio, but he can no longer wear them. They should be expressed to Manager William Davis, who has the honor of having brought to St. Paul the most complete and satisfactory entertainment we have ever had here, leaving no single point **THB ST. PAUL SUNDAl UL0U1S. STJNUAl MOKMING, AUGUST lOBoft! for an attack by adverse criticism. The most intelligent, wealthy and elegant people of St. Paul have paid tribute to the Pin afores, and so great is the desire to see and hear them that Manager Davidson, of the Opera House, has engaged them for the week of the State fair. This will give visit ors an opportunity to see an opera troupe simply correct and perfect both in principals, chorus, orchestra and personal deportment. OUR AMUSEMENTS. Haverly'* New Circuit Embracing St. Paul and Guaranteeing a Superior Order of Entertainments for the Coming Season. Parties in St. Paul who remember Mr. Haverly when he first came among ns as the nervous, active manager of Cal Wagner's minstrels, did not dream that another decade would bring about such a wondrous change in his status. For every year there appears on the theatrical scene a new manager. Sometimes they develop special adaptation to the business and become recognized as careful, honorable and successful directors of amusements. But such an one is excep tional. Mr. Haverly is particularly notice able as a remarkable exception. He followed his business with varying Buccess financially for fifteen years atleast,some seasons gaining money, others making him richer only in experience. Within the past) three years, however, Mr. Haverly has made prodigous strides in the theatrio field until now he stands confessedly the mo8t successful and best known caterer to the amusement going public in the United States. What P. T. Barnum is to the tent and magic ring of the circus, Mr. Haverly is to the footlight and raise en scene of the thea tre. His career exemplifies the virtue of the old saw which says "the shoemaker should stick to his last." His untiring interest in and his honest devotion to his business are perhaps the key notes to his prosperous career. He is at present the owner and sole manager of Haverly's theater, Chicago Haverly's theater, New York, corner Fourteenth street and Sixth avenue, Haverly's Mastodon minstrels, Haverly's Georgia minstrels, Haverly's Church Choir Pinafore company. The new Brookl theater will be operated by him, and what is more to the purpose as far as the Northwest is concerned, Mr. Haverly contemplates a circuit which will embrace the cities of Milwaukee, Madison, Saint Panl and Minneapolis. With a theater in each one of the four cities named, Mr. Haverly will be able to engage attractions in New York with especial reference to this circuit, in addition to a season at his own theatre in Chicago. This will afford ns what we really need and what we seldom getthoroughly first class entertainment. Parties come up here like Richard IH. came into the world, "scarce half made up." They have imposed upon ther public until, now, absolute excellence must be guaranteed before our citizens will accord anv encouragement. The unqualified satisfaction given by Haverly's Mastodons, coupled with the unexampled furore created by his Chi cago Church Choir Pinafore Company, has so strengthened the "coming mans" name in this city that hereafter his name alone will be a sufficient guarantee as to the merit of whatever entertainment he may offer. The opening house*will always be great and then the performance itself must do the rest. The engagement just closed by the Pinafore company affords a cue from which Mr. Haverly can always play in St. Panl. The company more than realized expectation and mark the result. The houses have increased nightly and the matinee was the very largest ever known in this city. Thi* result assures us that Mr. Haverly exceeds promise if indeed the Mastodons had not already firmly established that fact, and therefore it may be reiterated with emphasis that hereafter the young manager's name will be the only assurance needed in Saint Paul. Mr. Huv erly is at present in New York, and Mr. Davis, bis right hand man, who organized and is at present commander of the Church Choir party, is in receiptof intelligence from bis chief announcing importantengagements for Mr. Haverly's different theatres, em racing such first-class attractions as Her Majesty's opera, Salvini, Barry Sullivan, Gilbert and Sullivan's new opera by an English company, and possibly Carl Rosa's new English opera company. Saint Paul has already shown her appreciation, so come along Manager Haverly, you will find us staunch and true. Minnesota Land and Farming Company.

At a late hour yesterday afternoon, suit was commenced in the district court by the Mississippi Boom corp6ration against 8. W. Farnuam and James A. Lovejoy, James MoMullen and B. Dickev, W. N. Eastman and 0, A. Boney, J. B. Basaett and Isaac Gil patrick, Emerson Cole and 0 D. Hammond, Josiah Leavitte and Jonathan Chase, and C. C. Washburne and J. A. Christian. The suits, seven in all, are brought to collect damages of $500 each, and a penalty of 950 each, for ob structing the river within the limits of the boom, near St. Anthony's Falls, by throwing slabs, edgings, and waste-wood of various de scriptions in the way of the boom: As the suits are peculiar, and will, no doubt, be hotly contested, the full text of the com plaint IB herewith presented, the complaints in the remaining suits being identical with the one given, with the exception of the names of the defendants:, STATE OF MINNESOTA, i RAMSEY COUNTY, District Court, 6th Judicial District. The State of Minnesota, in relation of the Mis sissippi Boom Corporation, plaintiff, plain tiff, against S. W. Farnham and Jas. A. Love joy, defe dants: The complaint of the plaintiff, on relation of the Mississippi Boom Corporation, in the above entitled action, alleges that the Missis sippi Boom Corporation is a corporation creat ed and existing under and by virtue of the general laws of this State, and that said corpo ration under and by virtue of its articles of in corporation and of the act of the legislature of the State of Minnesota, entitled an act "relat ing to the Mississippi Boom Corporation.1' ap proved March 10, A. D. 1870, has constructed in the Mississippi river, between the tails of St. Anthony and the city of St. Paul, in the counties of Bamsey and Hennepin, in said State, its boom, as in said legislative act au thorized, at great cost and expense to-wit: At a cost of over $25,000, and has for and dur ing all the time hereinafter stated, and prior thereto, maintained and operated said boom, and that but for the wrongful acts of said de fendants hereinafter set forth, could and would have continued to operate the same at grea' prohttosaid corporation, and tor the benefit and advantage of said corporation. That the said Mississippi river runs in and is situate in said counties of Ramsey and Hen nepin, and at the time of the construction of said boom, from and below the falls of St. An th ny in said counties of Ramsey and Henne pin, was navigable and of sufficient size for floating or driving logs, timber or lumber, And which conld then be, and still could, but for the wrongful acts of said defendants, hereinaf ter set forth, be used for said purposes in said counties, so as to permit the free passage of logs, timber and lumber fiom said falls down to and into the said boom of said corporation, and to all points and places in and upon said liver, below said falls. That all logs, timber and lumber designed for said boom, or anywise coming or to come into the same, have necessarily to pass over the falls of St. An thony afoiesaid, and thence floated or driven down said river into said boom that said boom corporation is directly interested having the said river below said falls, and through its en tire limits, extending from and below said falls, to the point where the southern line oi the connty of Ramsey, in said State, extended westwardly, crossing said river. That the said defendants, well knowing the premises aforesaid have been and are still operating a certain saw mill, situate upon said river, and located wnhm the corporate limits of the city of Minneapolis, in said county of Hennepin, at and nesr the falls of St. Anthony, and above the said limits of said boom, and have be -n engaged in the sawing of logs and manufacture of lumber therein, and did on the 21st day of July, A.

In addition to the above the same company made application for an injunction to enjoin the Minnesota mill company against obstruct ing the river with slabs or other refuse mater ial. MORE TROUBLE. A Gang of Thieves Visit the Hotel Harrow at Lake Minnetouka. Added to all the horrors of bad luck which has attended the Hotel Harrow and Minne tonka Park association, a band of robbers no reference to the gospel money changers are now infesting the locality. The robbers referred to are of the midnight order, and seek wealth in sums exceeding twenty-five cents, no matter how fast the twenty-fives accumulate towards the dollar of our dads. For some time losses by burglary or sneaking have occurred with alarming fre quency about Hotel Harrow, Excelsior and other abodes of the Park neighborhood. These robberies have been kept secret, no report made of them, to save the name of the place. This has been the way the pro prietors have acted to prevent the public from getting hold of the uncertainty of portable property, but some of the losers have not been so content. About a three days ago, police headquar ters received a letter from Excelsior stating that a valuable ring had been stol there. The gew-gaw was described as an eight stone cluster diamond. Detective Brisette was commissioned to undertake the job of recovering it. He put himself in communication with S. T. Gruff, the writer of the letter, and learning all the facts, Detective Bresette made a pilgrimage to La Crosse, Wis. Yes terday word came that he had been success ful in his mission, the jewelry was recovered an the thief arrested. Besides this one instance another Minne touka guest is mourning the loss of a hand some diamond cross.
